Scientists have discovered fossils dating back 98 million years ago that belonged to a dinosaur that was possibly the largest animal to walk planet Earth.

The remains of a long-necked titanosaur dinosaur was first discovered in Argentina in 2012, but have still not been fully excavated.

The bones that have been unearthed so far suggest the dinosaur is possibly the largest one on record. Titanosaurs were among the largest sauropods — long-necked, plant-eating giant dinos — and lived from the late Jurassic period (163.5 million to 145 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous period (145 million to 66 million years ago).
